GOLD - EMP2 SILVER - SENCILLO BRONZE - AMNEX Some of the designs are innovative, but EMP2 has them all beat in actual usability. I don't care if it looks pretty if I can't use it. EMP2 looks the best, has really cool color schemes, and has a nice reduced version.

I would have to say I've found D-Reliction most usable. It's the kind of skin I could immediatley use when I installed it. I didn't have to hunt for any buttons or wonder "what does this do?". My only problem is that I spend an hour checking out all the color themes.

brother rabbit.... calm down... EVERYBODY may post in here as often as he wants and what he wants as long as he doesn't attack anyone else. additionally you can't tell anyone else how usefull he has to find a particular skin. that's totally idiotic! if he finds other skins more useful than you, ok, that's why we ALL may post in here and not only one person!

It's not a matter of usefulness anymore, because it never was the fact. The point is, the skin is in the wrong category all together. The authors could have designed it where features were top heavy and go into Power user.

D-Reliction for Gold, EMP2 for Silver, Meh? ... for bronze.

LayerONE!

Brother Rabbit.... can't you read? Calm down! Who's flooding now? By the way...I write a comment if I feel like it! Another thing! I'm not trying to "curb" anything for anyone! I don't know any of the guys/girls in this forum - only by there nickname! Tnx MikeB314 and Rontz

just wondering why enkera is topping so many people's lists? its very nice, and yes all the buttons work, but that doesnt make a skin MOST usable. remember, usable isnt the one YOU LIKE to use, its the one thats easiest to use. or maybe im missing the point...anyways... 1)LayerONE (yes, im biased) 2)D-Reliction 3)AR-7

Rabbit, do me a favor and shut the hell up. I've explained why my skin is in this category, and it's getting a little annoying to read how people complain about it. I'll do it one last time for you: I started this skin before I thought about entering this competition and I FREAKIN HAD TO CHOOSE TWO CATEGORIES. Do a little research on a skin before you start bitchin about it. Thanks Cecil, I appreciate your support a lot, though you should let other people state their opinion. @ the site admins: these "give us your opinion" news post might have been a bad idea.

I'm starting to agree with 883 somewhat... The amount of bitching is getting out of hand here. I just hope that the "user's choice" category will be done in some other way than a simple poll or comments like here, because of the high risk of cheating and bitching. I kinda went through the same thing in the most creative category, as 883 is going through in this one and let me tell you, it's not that fun. Now let's all calm down a little here..

so true...(that bitchin' thing) and brother rabbit: a skin CAN not be entered in the wrong category if it's in the one in which the skinner wanted to have it! if you think other skins are more useable, vote for them! that's what this thread is for!!!! btw 883: you didn't HAVE to enter two categories it was said UP TO two

Anyone that is not a modern one

Yeah great, so what's the big deal? either way, that won't affect the votes of the judges.

883, don't get all bitchy because some people object to your skin. That's life. I'm glad I simply made the point that your skin should not place in the likelyness of the others that should. It's nothing personal to your work, your work is fine, gold from the sky, god's work, but the point is, you have to understand where the questioning of your skin being in a Useable catagory would come from. Calm.

Why was it up to us, the skin authors, to decide the categories anyways? It should definitely have been up to the judges! So if my skin was in the wrong category, and every single user on the planet think my skin is the best "power user" skin, but it's not in that category, it cannot win? That sucks, it really really sucks..

I totally agree with you Plague.

Back to our votes people, we ain't here to tell how admins should prepare the competition, this would be discussed BEFORE everything was open for submitions, now it's too late. Here are my votes for Most Usable: 1) GrayZ 2) LayerONE 3) D-Reliction Usable also means (Ergonomics)....think about it LaterZzz and PEACE, if you wanna argue, there are FORUMS available for this and alot more to talk.

No offence, plague, but I don't see how a skin author could be the sole person in the world who didn't realise that his skin was a good power-user skin. Think about the real Olympics. The athletes don't just rock up and find out on the day which events they'll be participating in, do they? Please listen to VAG, people. There are many things that could be discussed, but discuss them in the forums. Let's not everybody air our dirty laundry here on the front page!

Adrian, you sound like a gigantic hippocrite since you're the one who started bitching around and got all emotional about it for no reason. The best skin in this category wins it. I'm pretty sure that it won't be enkera so stop whining aobut how much you hate my attitude. I never said that my skin is the best, so stop pretending that I did. Yeah, I agree with vag, if you feel the need for repeating yourself all over again start a thread in the forums, the news page is definitely not the right spot for this. Your arrogance makes me sick, that's the last time I'm replying to your comments.

Okay! I made an account in Forum that I named "CLEAR THE AIR..."! Go there if you have something on your mind that's a little bit more than normal or don't!

something like a "d-reliction total ownage post" here

StillWater Skins: true, but on the other hand, some of the categories were really hard to figure out what they meant and even some supposedly obvious categories has had wild discussions about what they really are (most creative/usable for example). None of that would exist if the judges decided which skin fits which category.
